but I’ve certainly thought this about women’s studies in general and the men who advocate for them in particular. I knew male students who thought these classes might be a good way to meet chicks. It’s not a good career track. Notes from the professor’s Twitter account in which he fesses up to the scam he’s pulled off for years .

“So the real story you all missed is that I talked my way into teaching women's studies on the basis of 2 undergrad courses only . . . The college knew that at the time, and since I had a history degree and wanted to teach it, they let me. . I then built a career as a well-known online male feminist on fraudulent pretenses. My mania let me talk a good game. . . But there was no there there. . . So with the clarity that comes from a shitload of anti-psychotics, I'm sorry I've been such a breathtakingly cocky fraud.”

He has also used racism in white-dominated feminist spaces to shut down and silence black women.
